Saint Barth Portfolio 2009 (wrap up) – February 2009
Finally the wrap up/poster of my Saint Barth Portfolio 2009.
I have started to publish this portfolio on June 18, 2009 with this post.
The idea was the following:
I will publish 2 pictures from each region of the island per post. Force to choose ;-)
I hope I haven’t bothered you too much with these 16 posts!
I really had to finish, as the countdown is running for our next stay in Saint Barth (February 2010)! About 50 days to go :-)
Saint Barth – Part XV
Some pictures taken from our snorkeling session in Colombier Bay with a Canon IXUS 700 and a waterproof case WP-DC70. As I have read, it is not so easy to take good pictures underwater… Anyway, a first try!
I have tried to find out what I have seen ;-) Not always 100% sure. So if you see something wrong, please do not hesitate to correct me.

Saint Barth – Part VII
We had our first snorkeling session on last Wednesday but the vision was not ideal under water, as there is still a quite strong swell. Anyway, I saw my first sea-turtle in Saint Jean Bay, exactly at the same place as last year, just after the white boat in the middle of the picture below!
Bottom is at about 3-4m there. Sea-turtle was about motionless and eating some underwater herbs. The turtle was about 80cm long. It is also the first time that I see a pilot fish on top of the turtle shell!
I have quite massively adjusted the pictures (contrast, color and saturation). The pictures are a bit pixelated but still from far better as I have thought!
Camera: Canon IXUS 700 with a Canon waterproof case (WP-DC70).
